Key Insights in the State of Health insurance report

These are among the important topics discussed in this year’s State of Health Insurance in Dubai report.

More flexible employee benefits

Companies are now moving towards improving their employee benefits plans in order to retain employees and attract new employees. By offering a flexible employee benefits plan, organizations are allowing employees to tailor coverage according to their own preferences. However, this does come with some problems for employers and HR teams.

Having a flexible system sure sounds good, but also makes it difficult for the HR team to track each employee’s preferences. Even though it does not affect the company monetarily as employees have to stick within a set budget, it affects the workload. To learn more about flexible benefits, you can check out Pacific Prime Dubai’s article on flexible employee benefits plans and how they might affect your organization.

Introduction of VAT

The introduction of VAT (value-added tax)Dubai has had an impact on employers and in particular their health insurance coverage. The situation has caused employers to drop down a level or two in terms of the insurance policies they offer their employees. The VAT adds 5% to the overall cost of plans, therefore causing employers to think twice before offering the most comprehensive policies.

Health insurance costs

The cost of health insurance also rose in 2018. What we found in our research is that apart from the costs rising, the gap between premiums in the most expensive countries have also risen when compared to the rest of the world. The United States has again emerged as the most expensive country for health insurance. Within our State of Health Insurance report, we have also included key information from our International Private Medical Insurance (IPMI) report. In this section, individuals can learn the rate at which premiums have been increasing by over the past years. By knowing this, policyholders can predict how much their premiums are going to cost when it comes time for renewal. Check out our IPMI report to learn more about this today.
